URL/URI than called the script ?

[j]

Hi is there a way of a php script knowing what page/script/object/thing
on the server called it ? I don't mean the referer in the user's
browser which is easily spoofed or non-existant I mean is it possible
for a PHP script to be 'aware' of what other page within the site is
accessing it ? I think $HTTP_REFERER is out, is there anything else
that would help ?

Thanks

Take a look at the $_SERVER variable. The variable you are looking for
is in there.

I suppose you could register a session, then have every page set a "Last
Page Viewed" session variable. It would involve recoding all your pages,
but if you make it a standard include, you could do that easily.

I thought you were looking for info about where a file was included. I
reread your qyestion and guess you beed a "secure" referrer. Since
anyrhing passed by the client is not considdered secure, hiw about about
a session array of requested pages. Unless the client ysed its
"backbutton " the last entry in the array called the current url.
